The middle plans. The edges need different operating paths.
This distribution is neither market volume nor an on-time rate. It only shows the time between reservation creation and scheduled pickup in Samuelz airport-related records.
55.2% at seven days or more
More than half sat in the planned range. Assistants and hotels benefit from an early, forwardable confirmation frame.
21.4% inside 48 hours
Short notice is not a rounding error. It needs an honest availability check, not a silent service promise.
Middle 50%: 2.8 to 22.7 days
The broad middle window explains why rigid “always early” or “always spontaneous” narratives miss the operational reality.
Method, source and clear limits.
How the count was built
- Tenant-bound Samuelz reservations from 19 May 2023 to 28 July 2026.
- Airport relation through MUC, “airport” or “Flughafen” in pickup or destination.
- Booking window = scheduled pickup minus creation timestamp; two negative values excluded.
- Only aggregate buckets and percentiles are published.
What the data does not prove
- No claim about the total Munich market.
- No on-time or failure rate.
- No vehicle recommendation from passenger count alone.
- No personal or individual booking records.
